THE GLOBES RECEPTION.

1t IS the peoples paper, and naturally
the people want to see how it is made
and the kind of home it lives in. We
refer to the GLOBE, and the hundreds
who last evening flocked to the recep-
ton given by the brightest, best and
most popular paper in the Northwest.
We trust we do not seem egotiStical,
but the truth is we are merely quoting
the opinion of every one of the visitors,
who from dusk until nearly midnight
thronged the GLOBE building. The
people are beginning to realize that the
GLOBE is thoroughly in earnest when it
extends a cordial invitation to all, with
out regard to age, sex or previous con-
ditiOn, to visit with it every Satur-
day evening, and last night they
gave the best possible evidence
of it by coming in numbers ex-
ceeding those attending former recep-
tons put together. In carriages, in
street cars and on foot they con-
tinued to arrive for hours, and at times.
stranger passing the GLOBE building
might have fancied that the palatial
edifice was an opera house with PATTI
singing inside at popular prices. All
classes of society were represented, BUT
distinction ceased the moment the por-
tails of the home wherein lives the
favorite paper of all were entered, and
each one was made cordially welcome.
Every department of newspaper-making
was inspected, and all departed more
impressed than ever with the labor in
volVed in getting ready for their inspec-
ton the metropolitan paper which daily
greets their eyes.
Naturally the GLOBE is gratified at
the very general response which it's in
vitation met, and hopes to entertain a
still larger number of its friends next
Saturday evening. Don't be afraid of
disturbing us by coming during work.

when you bring your wives, daughters

THE sAULT CONVENTION.

A formal call has been issued for a
convention to be held at Sault Ste. Marie
on the Goth of next month, to consist of
representatives of all commercial bodies
interested i'll the unobstructed naviga-
ton of our great Northern lakes. Under
the call all commercial bodies concur
ring in the movement are authorized to
appoint five delegates, and arrange
ments have been made providing for
transportation and accommodations for
the members of the convention. The
object of the convention is to consider
the present condition, growth and re-
quirements of commerce on the lakes,
and to bring an influence to bear on the
general government that adequate ap-
preparations may be secured to render
lake navigation free from all obstruc-
tions. The object is one of national i'm
portance. The value of this great in
land sea to our commercial interests can
not be over estimated. The increase in
lake traffic has been so rapid within
the last few years that there is proba-
bility of blockade at the st. Mary's
canal in very short time unless addi-
tional facilities are provided. When the
canal property was transferred by the

cOstuming is appropriate to that time.s
Handsome Win Mcdonald, who takes
the part of Prince AlidOr, will wear a

with orange satin and an underdresS of
green silk with lace trimmed f1ounces. In
the second act, in the May day jubilee,

handsome than that of the principals.

A FAIR DEBUTANT.

Monday evening Miss Clara Louise
Thompson, the lady who has so charmed
Minneapolis by her Evolutionary pow
ers, will open a three days engagement
at the Grand, presenting the first even
ing "ROmeo and Juliet" Tuesday even
ing she will appear in 1.-THE Hunch-
back' and her final appearance will be
in 'Ingomar." The sale of seats has
been very large, and the audience will
doubtless be composed of the elite of
the city.
The Pence opera house remains as
popular as ever and draws large audi
ences every evening. The first half of
the present week, ''On the Jury'' will be
given, and "The Black Diamond" will
run the latter half. Both plays are full
of interest and will be mounted in an
appropriate manner.
The Golden Comedy company will
present the beautiful drama of 'sDiya'
at the Comique every day this week.
For the coming week at the dime
museum, MaXey the needle eater, Tx
the cowboy fiddler and other features
will be seen in the curio hall. In the
theater, Whitneys, the Clever Carroll.
Virtu the musician, Tom Dixon the IA
nous ballad singer, and other we'll
known artists. In the grand theater
the Willett-Thorn Comedy company
will give the. farce entitled ''The Fool

NATIONAL DRILLS.

The fact that the expenses of the late
militia encampment and competitive
drill at Washington exceeded the re-
ceipts by $4,000, and the citizens who
subscribed to the guarantee fund must
make up the deficit emphasizes the
point made by the GLOBE that such
drills should be at the expense of the
national government.
1t is certainly in the highest degree
unfair that the citizens of the city in
which the drill is held should be ex-
pected to bear the expense, for the bene-
fit derived by them from it is small and
eyanescent. Nor should the troops or
the states which they represent be called
upon, although the latter might
possibly enter into an arrange
ment with the government whereby
each assumed prOp0rtiOnate
share of the expense. 1t is the general
government which is mostly benefited
through the increased efficiency the
militia acquires by national drills and
encampmentS, because the effective
strength of the government is increased
in just the same degree. The COMPETE
tive drills are most excellent in their
educational and disciplinary effects,
and should be encouraged. But while
the states should not be backward in
aiding them, the greater portion of the
burden should fall, where it belongs, Oh
the United States.

state CT Michigan to the United States
structed new lock. This was mag
nificent structure, so feet wide, with a
length of SIS feet, and with IL feet of
water over the inter stills at the ordinary
stage, and it was supposed that this new
lock would accommodate the lake COM
merce for a long time to GENE. But the
freight movement increased at once with
the new accommodation, and has con-
tinued to grow until now it is estimated
by the Lake Carriers association, of
Buffalo, that the full working capacity
of the lock will be reached by 1888. In
addition to this fact, there is danger
that the lock may be injured by the
carrying away of the lower gates
at any time, and the blockade
to commerce which would en-
sue in case any such accident
should happen would be appalling.
Gen. Poe, of the United States en-
gineers, has recommended that another
lock be constructed, to be used in con-
nection with the present one. 1t is i'm
portant to have it in case of accident to
the present lock, and it will be needed
anyway in year or to two more, to ac-
commodate the trade on the lakes. He
estimates the cost of the proposed new
lock at S1,700,000, and thinks it of the
utmost Importance that it should be
completed by 1891. Another matter that
will probably be considered by the con-
vention next month will be the improve
ment of the Hay lake channel, in the
Sault Ste. Marie river. This channel
would afford much less circuitous route
for commerce between Lake Superior
and Lake Huron than now in use.
One point of interest in connection
with the commerce of the lakes is the
fact, which is not generally known, that
the daily tonnage through the Sault
canal is larger than that through the
great SueZ canal. This single state
ment is sufficient to impress upon the
commercial bodies of the Northwest the
Importance of improving our lake navi-

A novelty in the way of genuine
Mormon family will be seen at the
Seventh street museum next week. The
group consists of Elder Baker, his three
wives and sixteen children, Bishop Stod-
dard and Frank Larson, of the Salt Lake
Herald. These people are direct from
Lehi, Utah, and are good types of Nor
mons. About three weeks ago Baker
and his wives left Utah en- route for
Alabama where he owns farm. He
had intended to settle his wives there
rived in Chicago he was refused rooms
at the National hotel and was arrested
for bigamy. Quite lengthy account of
the proceedings was published in the
Chicago papers. Mr.. Larson, who hap
pened to be in that city was instrumental
IN securing his release and made an az
rangement to play him in the
museums for four weeks. Mr.. Larson
is an ex-Mormon of some prominence,
said he: "The Edmunds-Tucker bill is
not doing much practical good. Every
one perjurS himself who swears to the
test OATH There have been more mar
riages the past two years in Utah than
ever before. Of course, they are secret
and the men disclaim them, but still they
go on. Taylor and Cannon have disap-
peared, butsstill their manifestos are is
sued to the faithful. 1t will be some
time before polygamy is wiped out, but
think it will be in time. The Mormons
control politics yet, and it would never
do for the territory to be admitted into
into the Union. There is vast foreign
element in the church, and they do not
claim to be Americans"
In the theaters thecomedy, "The Lin
erick Boy" and coterie of speciality
artists, headed by Mayo and Gilchrist,
Clark and Williams and others, will
give hourly performances.

ADVERTISERS INVITED.

Business men who appreciate the
value of advertising are the only ones
in community who are partic-
ularly interested in the circula-
ton of a newspaper. They are
justified in wanting to know what
chance there is for a profitable return
on their investments, while the general
reading public care little about what
number of copies paper may print.
The GLOBE has for long time main
tanned intimate relations with the bust
ness men of st. Paul and Minneapolis,
and has enjoyed their patronage and
confidence. They have advertised lib
orally and paid to the GLOBE vast sums
of money on the assurance of
its large and rapidly increaS-
ing circulation. The volume of
the GLOBES circulation has been
value received to them, however, for
the money they have paid out. There
fore hOnors are easy. But the GLOBE
wants to go still farther and convince
them of this fact, fully and thoroughly.
With this end in view a cordial invita-
ton is extended to every business man
in st. Paul and Minneapolis to attend
the Saturday evening receptions, which
are also attended by the general public.
The press room is open to all, and the
papers are printed before the eyes of
everybody. This is the only genuine
method of determining the circulation
of paper. Printed claims as to num-
bers amount to nothing. Let everybody
come and see the GLOBE edition worked
off. The GLOBE claims to have the
largest circulation northwest of Chi
cago. Here is an opportunity to demon
strate the correctness of the assertion.
Let-the business men of the Twin Cities
make the test.

the meaning of all this commotion in

that the management is going to hump
